From the first page: "Drs. Frank Minirth & Walter Byrd offer an alternative to the limited "secular solution". They define Christian counseling as "the ministry of one individual seeking to help another individual recognize, understand, and solve his own problems in accordance with the Word of God". This informative and enlightening book explores the spiritual dimension, combining proven scientific truth with the foundational truths of the Bible, recognizing the dependence on not only man"s willpower to be responsible, but also on God"s enabling, indwelling power of the Holy Spirit to conquer man"s problems."
